DEVIN TOWNSEND

By Your Command Lyrics

My command!
My dominion!
Memory, heart and all opinion,
Hide me, guide me,
Dry my tears,
Slowly taking back the years,
By your command,
By your command,
BY YOUR COMMAND,
No, I know,
All I am and,
We are not,
We are not to blame,
For all I have learned now,
We are not to blame,
Over and over,
And over and over,
And over you live it again!
(Touch it, take it)
Make it your friend!

[Ziltoid:]
You have not convinced mighty Ziltoid,
I am so omniscient; if there were to be two
omniscience's
I would be both!
Prepare yourselves for the subjugation!

Hide me, guide me,
Dry my tears,
By your command,
Slowly taking back the years,
Now I know,
All I ask is,
We are not,
We are not to blame,
For all I have learned now,
We are not to blame!
Over and over,
and over and over,
and over you live it again!
(Touch it, take it)
Make it your friend!
Oh.. the physical race
You're dying!
Oh with physical grace..

Gone too far from the universe,
Gone too far for the way on home,
Gone too far from the universe.. the universe.

[Ziltoid:] Commander...
[Commander:] Yes Captain Ziltoid!
[Ziltoid:] Have the humans delivered their ultimate cup
of coffee?
[Commander:] I have it right here, sir.
[Ziltoid:] Yes...
[Ziltoid drinks the coffee]
[Ziltoid:] FETID! How dare they present this to me!
FOUL! They hide their finest bean! Prepare the attack!

[Commander:] Captain Ziltoid! The humans are preparing
themselves for the attack!
[Ziltoid:] Excellent! Have you prepared the planet
smasher?
[Commander:] Yes, my lord.
[Ziltoid:] Indeed! On my word.
[Commander:] Yes, my lord...
[Human Commander:] Now listen here men! We represent
the planet Earth! I want no heroes! He is gonna be
unleashing a shit storm on us, we gotta be ready! They
are coming over the horizon as we speak! We gotta be
ready to take them down! Hold your position men! Do not
fire until I tell you to fire! Have you got that?
[Troops:] YES SIR!
[Human Commander:] Right! Hold your position! Ziltoid,
he comes!
